Description
Charlie,
He is kind to all he meets,
Super cute and super sweet …
When Charlie the caterpillar looks in the mirror, all he sees is what’s missing. But with the help of some caring and colorful friends, he begins to learn it’s what inside that counts!
Charlie,
It doesn’t matter what you’ve got—
Neon stripes or polka dots—
Raise your head and show them off!
More importantly, about Charlie! Charlie the Caterpillar was born out of a conversation that my wife (Lesley Gutman) and daughter (Riley Claire Gutman) had about how cool it would be to write a book about a caterpillar trying on fashion inside of its cocoon. I kept saying they should write about it … and thus Charlie was born. Charlie is so much more interesting than Andy Gutman, who is simply of average height, maybe a few pounds overweight, and just some boring businessman! Special thanks to Thomas Daniel for his contributions.

I thought this was a super cute kids book, especially for younger children. it all about accepting yourself as you are, no matter what you look like. The illustrations are beautiful, I loved the colors. I think it'd be really good for 2-4 year olds. It's a little too cutesy for older than that I'd think.

I love books that rhyme with great colorful illustrations - this book does not disappoint. It has a great message about what's inside is what matters. Well done and fun to read.

The bright, colorful pictures are very appealing. Kids will gravitate towards this book for the beautiful pictures. I recommend this book for kids ages 2-5. The simple message about loving yourself for who you are is a great message. The story is probably too cutesy for older kids, but younger kids will love it.

Charlie The Caterpillar is such a cute story for young kids. Not only it has cute illustrations, also the story is full of lessons and messages hidden.
Charlie is a caterpillar that looks himself in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees, he wants to be someone else. It sounds very familiar with all the young people out there. He's continuously encourages by his friends that he's loved as himself, he's unique. One day he has to go in a cocoon. That's when he comes out as a butterfly, and he likes what he's become.
There's a kid-friendly, simple message around self confidence and appreciating yourself for who you are. All kids need these messages at all ages I think. That's why I appreciate the book a lot, and also the drawings are really so cute.
I would definitely recommend it.
